1. Report from the Faculty of Arts

Items for Approval

The Faculty of Arts recommends approval of the following motion:

Motion 1 Catholic Studies Program Revisions

To revise the minor in Catholic Studies as follows, effective 201730:

Delete an approved elective from any discipline;

To increase to four (from three) the number of approved electives from the list below;

To require students complete an approved elective in Philosophy (instead of Religious Studies);

To limit the number of RLST courses that students can count toward the minor to two, including

RLST 100;

To limit the number of CLAS courses students can count toward the minor to two; and,

To update the list of approved electives.

THST 300AB Students should check printed or web listings and/or consult with the Catholic Studies Director to determine if other Selected Topics courses are approved electives.

(end of Motion 1)

Rationale: Given that Philosophy as a discipline has been a major part of the Catholic academic tradition,

a one philosophy course requirement for the Minor seems appropriate. It is not fair that some earning a

minor in Catholic Studies does not have some familiarity with philosophical principles. The courses being

deleted as approved electives are no longer offered and have been removed from the Undergraduate

Catalogue.

CCUAS Agenda Page 3

11-Apr-17

Items for Information

The Faculty of Arts approved the creation, revision and deletion of the following courses and offers them

for information. Each becomes effective 201730.

Revised Courses

1. Departments of Economics, Philosophy and Political and International Studies

PPE 400 3:3-0

Capstone Seminar in PPE

In this inter-disciplinary course, students will present their research on various issues within Philosophy, Politics,

and Economics to each other, and their efforts will be analyzed by other students, under the guidance of faculty

members.

*** Prerequisite: PPE 200 or permission of instructor***

Rationale: PPE 200 was always envisioned as the prerequisite to this course; in preparing to offer the course for the

first time the omission of the prerequisite was noted and this motion remedies that oversight.

2. Department of Economics

ECON 234 3:3-0

Monetary Financial Crisis and Financial Crises

“Why do stock markets and national currencies occasionally collapse and what lessons can we learn from such

crises? These questions are examined through a study of classic cases like the Asian currency crisis of 1997-98 and

the global financial crisis of 2007-8.”

Causes and effects of famous financial panics and crashes throughout history, such as the stock market crash of 1929

and the Great Depression, and the dot.com bubble of the 1990s.

*** Prerequisite: 15 credit hours or ECON 100 ***

Rationale: Please note that prerequisites remain the same. The change in description is needed to reflect the current

content of the course.

ECON 480 3:3-0

Capstone Seminar in Economics

Students will research an economic issue of personal interest under the supervision of a faculty member, present

their work in class, and produce a term paper.

*** Prerequisite: ECON 224, ECON 280, and one of ECON 311, ECON 341, ECON 353, ECON 354, ECON 361,

ECON 363, ECON 364, ECON 372, ECON 396 or ECON 496 or permission of Department Head ***

Rationale: This motion comes on recommendation from Writing Sequence group to ensure that students have

completed a 300 level elective with a significant writing component before taking ECON 480. ECON 480

instructors reported that few occasional offerings under 396 AA-ZZ did not include such component and hence

students were ill prepared for ECON 480. Given that 396 courses are occasional offerings and some of them are

taught by sessional instructors, maintaining the list of writing electives courses compact will address the issue.

Appendix III

3. Report from the Centre for Continuing Education

The following items were considered and passed at the March 21, 2017, CCE Council meeting and are

now presented here for CCUAS consideration:

Items for Approval

Motion 1: Concurrent Programs in CCE

To revise the policy around Concurrent Programs for CCE students in Section 18.2.2.6 of the U of R

Undergraduate Calendar as follows, effective 201730.

Student may take a maximum of ten courses toward a program in another faculty as a secondary

program.

Students must submit a completed Declaration of Secondary Program Form Application for Undergraduate Concurrent Program form. Signatures of approval are required from the Primary Program Advisor and the Secondary Program Advisor.

Background:

With the implementation of concurrent curricula, we will be better able to track student progress in more

than one program at a time. This could open the door for more students to declare secondary programs,

including degree programs as secondary to CCE Certificate programs.

(end of Motion 1)

Rationale:

CCE students often work toward more than one certificate at one time, or they may be working toward a

degree program and toward meeting admission requirements. Further, with the implementation of

Concurrent Curricula, the existing policy is problematic.

Motion 2: UR Accelerated Program for High School and Home-based Learners – English

Language Proficiency

To add a policy for English Language Proficiency for students applying to the §2.5.2 UR Accelerated

Program for High School and Home-based Learners program, effective 201730.

Applicants must meet English Language Proficiency Requirements via one of the following: o Completion of Grades 9 and 10 English, or grades 10 and 11 English, in sequence, as

part of two full academic years, in a high school using a provincially- or state-accredited Canadian or U.S. curriculum, or equivalent international qualification.

o A grade of 80% or better in a Grade 12 provincially-examined English course, as part of one full term of study, or equivalent international qualification.

o Any approved test of proficiency in English as outlined in the Undergraduate Calendar section 2.2.3.

Background:

Section 2.2.1 of the U of R Undergraduate Calendar states that in order to meet English Language

Proficiency for admission to the U of R, students must have one of the following:

CCUAS Agenda Page 7

11-Apr-17

1. Completion of Grades 11 and 12 English, in sequence, as part of two full academic years, in a

high school using a provincially- or state-accredited Canadian or U.S. curriculum.

2. A grade of 80% or better in a Grade 12 provincially-examined English course, as part of one full

term of study (does not apply to admission to the Faculty of Nursing).

Section 2.2.3 of the U of R Undergraduate Calendar outlines approved tests of proficiency in English such

as the U of R’s ESL program, the CANTEST , TOEFL, and IELTS.

(end of Motion 2)

Rationale:

Recently there have been an increasing number of applications to the High School Accelerated Program

(HSXL) from students who have studied high school outside Canada and whose first language may not be

English. Additionally, all U of R students must meet ELP, and while most domestic students would meet

ELP on Canadian high school as outlined above, High School Accelerated students often do not meet the

above requirements as they have not yet taken a grade 12 English course. Students are permitted to apply

to the HSXL program while they are in Grade 11 or 12. These students often will not have met ELP as

outlined by the University of Regina in Section 2.2 of the Undergraduate Calendar.

Motion 3: Casual Student Program

To revise the policy governing admission to the Casual Student Program as follows, effective 201730.

2.5.4 CASUAL STUDENTS

The Casual Student Program is designed to allow members of the general public to take courses for general interest. The following restrictions apply to this program:

Applicants must be aged at least 18 (or if under 18, they must have already graduated from high school).

Students who have received a Faculty requirement to discontinue (RTD) or University-Level

forced withdrawal (MW) at the University of Regina or another post-secondary institution are not

eligible to participate and are not currently in good standing in their previous program, are not

eligible to petition the Casual Student Program for admission..

Students can register in open registration.

The maximum registration for any term is 6 credit hours.

The maximum length of time students are allowed to stay in either the Casual Student Program and/or the General Studies Program before applying to transfer to a Faculty is 24 credit hours.

Regular evaluation of academic performance applies to Casual Students. Academic performance is evaluated following each term. If Casual Students already have full or part of a U of R degree and come in with more than 24 credit hours, those credit hours count towards evaluation of academic performance and application of academic policies.

(end of Motion 3)

Rationale: The policy has been interpreted in the past to exclude students who have ever been required to

discontinue from any institution, which has been unnecessarily punitive for students who have since

returned to their studies and successfully completed further courses. This revision clarifies the language in

order to align with the spirit of the policy.

CCUAS Agenda Page 8

11-Apr-17

Motion 4: English as a Second Language Regular Program, Placement Testing

To change IELTS (Academic) Band Score for Direct Admission into Advanced EAP (Level 050) and

to add IELTS (Academic) Band Score for Direct Admission to ESL 040 High Immediate and to amend the wording of 18.4.3.1 in the Undergraduate Calendar, as follows, effective 201730.

…. Students who have submitted proof of an overall IELTS (Academic) Band score of 6.0 with no IELTS Band score less than 5.5 5.0, or a TOEFL iBT score of 70 with no skill below 17, or a TOEFL Paper score of 525, or a CAEL score of 50 will be directly admitted into Advanced EAP (Level 050). ). Students who have submitted proof of an overall IELTS (Academic) Band score of 5.5 with no IELTS Band score less than 5.0, will be directly admitted into ESL 040 High Intermediate. These scores must also be submitted no later than the 100% Refund (minus tuition deposit) deadline. If documents are submitted prior to the start of the semester, there is no requirement to write the in-house placement test. Test results may not be more than 2 years old at the time of application to the ESL program if they are to be considered for placement.

(end of Motion 4)

Rationale: To have the English Language Proficiency (ELP) scores for Advanced EAP 050 Direct

Entry better match the scores accepted by International Admissions at the University of Regina. To

enable prospective students to have a clear indication of the potential length of their ESL studies and

to provide an inviting pathway to Undergraduate studies.

To enable prospective students to have a clear indication of the potential length of their ESL studies and to provide an inviting pathway to Undergraduate studies.

The suggested entry scores are based on them being attainable steps to the U of R requirements.

4. Report from La Cité universitaire francophone

The following bilingual motion was adopted unanimously by the La Cité Unit Council and is presented

here for CCUAS consideration:

Item for Approval

Motion 1: Creation of Certificate in French & Francophone Intercultural Studies

La Cité universitaire francophone recommends that the creation of a Certificate in French and

Francophone Intercultural Studies be approved as follows:

English that would be accepted).

- tous les autres cours enseignés en français à l’Université de Regina // all other courses taught in

French at the University of Regina.

- tout cours qui recevrait une permission du PÉFI // all courses receiving a permission from the

FFIS program.

(end of Motion 1)

______________________________________________________________________________

Rationale : A certain number of students cannot do a minor in French within their chosen programs of

study but could benefit from the addition of this minor to their diploma. This program is similar to what

is offered in Japanese, German, and Spanish by the Department of International Languages. Please note

that this program will not require any supplementary human resources within the department but could

CCUAS Agenda Page 10

11-Apr-17

potentially attract new students to our program - in particular the advanced courses (potential students

are those exiting immersion schools who have a level sufficient to take FRN 201).

This bilingual motion was adopted unanimously by the La Cité Unit Council on January 24, 2017 and

was recommended for approval by CCAM on Feb 14, 2017 and by CCB on Feb 27, 2017.

Item for Information

Les membres du Programme d’études francophones et interculturelles (PÉFI) proposent la création du

cours FRN 352.

Faculty members of the French and Francophone Intercultural Studies Program recommend the creation

of new course FRN 352.

Effective Date: 201830

Description du cours/ Course Description

FRN 352 — Lecture et écriture critique I/ Critical Reading and Writing I

Ce cours développe les compétences de l’étudiant pour la lecture et l’écriture critique au moyen d’un large

éventail de textes non-littéraires et littéraires, ainsi que de l’étude de la composition, en mettant l’accent sur les

liens entre les modes de lecture et d’écriture.

NOTE: Ce cours remplace ENGL 100 seulement pour les étudiants de l’option bilingue du baccalauréat en

sciences infirmières. Ces étudiants ne peuvent pas demander de crédits pour FRN 352 et ENGL 100.

//This course develops students’ proficiency in critical reading and writing through the study of a wide range of

non-literary and literary texts, and the study of composition, with emphasis on connections between modes of

reading and writing.

NOTE: This course replaces ENGL 100 only for students registered in the bilingual option of the Bachelor of

Science in Nursing. These students cannot claim credits for both FRN 352 and ENGL 100.

EXPLICATION/ RATIONALE:

Les étudiants de l’option bilingue du baccalauréat en sciences infirmières ont besoin de faire la moitié de leurs

cours en français. Dans la programmation actuelle, offrir ENGL 100 en français est le seul moyen de satisfaire

aux exigences.

// Students registered in the Bilingual Option of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing have to take half of their

courses in French. In the current program, to offer ENGL 100 in French is the only way to meet the requirements.

DESCRIPTION OF ENGL 100 IN THE CURRENT COURSE CATALOG (FOR REFERENCE ONLY):

ENGL 100 – Critical Reading and Writing I

This course develops students’ proficiency in critical reading and writing through the study of a wide range of

non-literary and literary texts, and the study of composition, with emphasis on connections between modes of

reading and writing.

NOTE: Students who are planning to repeat ENGL 100 should seek academic advising before doing so.

* Theory in English; Clinical in French

(end of Motion 1)

Rationale : This option has been approved by both CCB and CCAM. The option provides an additional

opportunity for nursing education in western Canada and Saskatchewan. It also addresses the need to

expand access to French education programming in sparsely populated areas or areas with a lower

francophone population. The Saskatchewan population continues to grow and attract new immigrants

whose primary language is French, which intensifies the need for access to health services in French in

Saskatchewan and increases the need to address access to education for professionals who can deliver

these health services in French. At present, Saskatchewan is the only prairie province without a French

language option with respect to nursing education. Seven seats (within the current funded complement)

will be available in Regina only; Saskatoon does not have the infrastructure needed to support the courses

that will be delivered in French.

Motion 2 Admission requirements for the BScN Bilingual Option

To approve the admission requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) Bilingual option

as noted below, effective 201830.

Admission to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) Bilingual option is competitive entry.

Applicants must meet all admission requirements of the regular Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN)

program. In addition, applicants must meet the French language proficiency requirements as identified by

La Cité universitaire francophone http://lacite.uregina.ca/en/evaluations-linguistiques/tef.

(end of Motion 2)

Rationale: Classes in the BScN Bilingual option are the same as the regular BScN program; 50% are in

English, 50% in French. Therefore, applicants must have proficiency in both English and French. Since

the content of the program is the same as the regular BScN program, the same admission requirements are

needed.

Motion 3 Creation of an option for Minors in Nursing

To add Section 15.8.3 Minors for Nursing Programs as follows, effective 201730.

15.8.3 Minors for Nursing Programs

Students may complete one minor in a subject other than their major. The minor is a concentration of at

least six courses in a discipline from any of the Faculties of Science; Arts; Media, Art, and Performance;

or La Cité universitaire francophone. The applications to graduate with a minor are ultimately approved

by the Faculty offering the student’s first major. The specific courses required for a minor in a given

discipline can be found under the relevant departmental listing. A minimum of three (3) courses from

outside the major are required.



87.0 Total: 65.00%

PGPA required

http://lacite.uregina.ca/en/evaluations-linguistiques/tef


11-Apr-17

(end of Motion 3)

Rationale : A minor option will facilitate students learning about fields that are complementary to

nursing and provide the opportunity to interact with students in other disciplines. As a result students will

have a broader perspective than taking the majority of their courses in a cohort of similar minded

individuals. Students who want to focus on a specific specialty, area of practice or location on graduation

may find that the learning attained through completion of the minor assists them with their career. For

example, students interested in working with Indigenous populations may find the additional learning

associated with a minor in Indigenous Health Studies, Indigenous Studies or a Language Studies minor

focusing on a language specific to the area/population of their interest helpful and appropriate. A minor

in French may be of interest to bilingual students who are either currently in the SCBScN program or if

the bilingual option is not realized within the SCBScN program. In each minor, the requisite GPA is 65%

that must be achieved in all courses that contribute to the minor.

Appendix VII

7. Report from the Registrar’s Office

Item for Discussion

Background:

There has been some confusion in the past as to what can be approved at the

Faculty/Department/Academic Unit level and what needs to move through the governance process to

Senate.

The CCUAS submission guide has been developed to clarify the approval processes for various academic

items that are presented to Faculty/Department/Academic Unit Councils for approval and/or information.

The guide will also be presented to the Associate Deans Academic group, Deans Council, and the

Executive Director, University Governance and University Secretary for input before coming back to

CCUAS for recommended approval by Executive of Council and Senate.

Note: The new program approval process and the new program template are currently being reviewed by

CCAM and CCB. Any changes made will be affected to the final version that comes forward for

approval.

What is the Academic Catalogue?

The academic catalogue is the University of Regina’s inventory of academic programs and

courses. It helps the intended audience understand what programs and courses are available,

what the expectations are for a student to complete a program, what a student can expect to

learn in a course, and so on.

Changes and additions to the catalogue are often necessary and it is imperative that the

information published is current and accurate. This guide has been developed to help Faculties,

Departments, and Academic Units at the University of Regina understand the processes and

procedures for making changes and additions to the academic catalogue.

Note: For the purposes of this guide the term Academic Area refers to the Faculty,

Department, Academic Unit or College responsible for the course or program.

A Snapshot of the University of Regina’s Governance

The University's governance structure is established by The University of Regina Act and is

bicameral - simply put, there is one decision stream for academic decisions and another for

administrative ones.



Decisions on academic programs and related matters generally originate in the academic area,

are reviewed by a University academic committee, are considered by Executive of Council on

behalf of the University's Faculty Council, and then are decided upon by Senate.

Issues requiring administrative decisions may originate almost anywhere, and the Board of

Governors makes major final administrative decisions, particularly where significant

expenditures are concerned.

The two streams often come together at the Board; for example, Senate decisions regarding

establishment of new or major expansions of academic units and programs or major changes

are subject to ratification by the Board of Governors.

This guide focuses on decisions on the academic side that are specifically related to programs,

courses, and academic regulations. More information on the University of Regina’s governance

structure can be found on the Office of the President’s Governance web page.

What is the Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Studies (CCUAS)?

CCUAS is a committee of Council that is responsible for advising Council on academic

programs, policy, regulations and standards at the undergraduate level.

The terms of reference for CCUAS can be found here:

http://www.uregina.ca/student/registrar/assets/docs/pdf/ccuas/2015/terms.pdf

Understanding Effective Dates

Effective dates are necessary so that students can follow the program requirements that are in

place at the time of their admission, and so that courses are accurately reflected with what

courses student register in and complete.

The University of Regina has three terms. Each are specified with the year.

Term 10 – winter (201910 for the 2019 Winter Term)

Term 20 – spring/summer (201920 for the 2019 Spring/Summer Term)

Term 30 – fall (201930 for the 2019 Fall Term)

The effective date for a new course or a change to an existing course is generally specified for a

future term where class registration has not yet commenced.

The effective date for a program is generally specified for the next fall catalogue term. A

catalogue term determines the program template that a student will follow through to graduation.

http://www.uregina.ca/president/governance/

http://www.uregina.ca/student/registrar/assets/docs/pdf/ccuas/2015/terms.pdf



Deadlines for final approval at CCUAS are:

CCUAS Submission Format

Submissions for the inclusion on the CCUAS agenda must be submitted in a Word document.

The appropriate font is Times New Roman 11 point and there can be no text boxes. A template

for the agenda item submissions can be found in Appendix A. Submissions that are not in the

correct format will be returned to the Academic Area.

Agenda items may be submitted to [email protected]

Courses This section of the guide focuses on the processes associated with changing, adding,

inactivating a course, making a course historical, and reactivating a course.

Appendix B has a checklist for the level of approval that is required for courses.

New Course

A new course is one that does not currently exist in the University of Regina’s course catalogue.

Effective Date

The effective date of a new course must be made for a future term where registration

has not yet opened and should reflect the term in which the course will be offered. For

example, a motion would not be made with an effective date for term 20 when the

course will not be opened until term 30.

Note: Because a new course that has been submitted for information can be brought to

the table for discussion, a new course request will not be processed by the Registrar’s

Office until after the CCUAS meeting.

Deadline Effective Date

Must be approved by Academic Area Council by June to meet the agenda submission deadline for the September meeting of CCUAS.

Term 10 of the upcoming year.

mailto:[email protected]



Must be approved by Academic Area Council by December to meet the agenda submission deadline for the January meeting of CCUAS.

Terms 20 or 30 of upcoming year.

Timing

New courses should be planned at least 1 year in advance of the anticipated opening of

the course to allow time for approval by the Academic Area’s Council and for

cataloguing, scheduling and registration.

Process

1. If the new course will result in changes to existing program regulations within and

outside of the academic area, the program regulations changes will also need to be

approved (see Program Change section of the document).

2. If the new course has impact outside of the academic area, consult with the

academic area(s) the change will impact.

3. The Registrar’s Office is consulted to ensure the assigned subject code and course

numbers do not conflict with information that already exists in the system.

4. The admissions and studies committee of the academic unit reviews the new course

and recommends approval.

5. The Council Committee of the academic unit reviews the new course and has final

approval authority.

6. The new course is submitted to CCUAS for information. A template for the agenda

item submissions can be found in Appendix A.

Sub Process

A new course may impact the published degree regulations of other programs. For this

reason, once a new course is approved it should also be affected to the program

regulations of all programs the change impacts. See Program Change process.

Non-substantive change to an existing course

Unless a change in a course description is so radical as to constitute a new course or will alter

degree regulation requirements, a non-substantive change to a course is normally approved by

an Academic Unit’s course/program development committee. These kinds of changes are

generally made as housekeeping items and can include:

A change to course titles. (Not changing the context.) A change of grade modes. A change to the schedule type of the course.* Typographical errors*

Effective Date

The effective date of a non-substantive change will be for the next available term in which

students are not yet registered. Typographical errors can be submitted for immediate

processing.

Process

1. A non-substantive change is brought forward through to the Academic Area’s

admissions and studies committee for approval. The background information (rationale)

for the motion should include a copy of the change.

2. A non-substantive change is taken to the Academic Area’s Council Committee for

information.

3. Once approved, a Course Inventory Form - Undergraduate is submitted to the

Registrar’s Office for processing. There is no need to submit the non-substantive

change to CCUAS for information. Changes to course titles, grade modes, and schedule

types will be affected to the next term where registration has not yet commenced.

*Note: Typographical errors and changes to schedule type do not need Council Committee

approval and can be made by submitting a course inventory form.

Substantive Change to a Course

A substantive change to a course is one that significantly alters the course. This kind of change

usually results from one or a combination of the following:

A substantive change in the course description and/or content of the course.

A change in the number and type of credit hours of the course (from 3 to 6, or 6 to 3 for

example) or addition of hours.

A change in the course that alters the program templates of one or more programs.

A change or addition of course attributes.

A change to pre-requisites, co-requisites, equivalent courses, mutually exclusive

courses, or restrictions.

A substantive change may impact the published degree regulations of programs outside of the

academic unit responsible for the course. For this reason consideration must be given to what

program regulations the change will impact and consultation with other academic units is

essential if the change impacts the programs of other units.

Program regulations that are impacted by a course change will need to be brought forward for

approval at the same time. Refer to the Program Change process for further details.

Example: If WXYZ 100 is a required course in the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and

Bachelor of Business Administration programs, and the credit value of that course changes from

3 credit hours to 6 credit hours, then the regulations of all three programs will need to change.

For this reason, it is important to determine what programs the substantive change will impact

before taking the course change forward for approval.

Effective Date

The effective date of a substantive change must be made for a future registration term

that has not yet opened for student registration. If the change involves a change to

program regulations, it would be made in accordance with the effective date information

in the appropriate Program Change process section of this document.

Timing

Substantive course changes should be planned at least 1 year in advance of the

anticipated change.

Process

1. Consider the impact the change has on existing program regulations within and

outside of the academic area.

2. If the change has impact outside of the academic area, consult with the

academic area(s) the change will impact.

3. The admissions and studies committee of the academic area reviews the

change.



4. The Council Committee of the academic area reviews the change.

5. The course change is submitted to CCUAS for information. A template for the

agenda item submissions can be found in Appendix A.

Sub Process

A substantive change may impact the published degree regulations of other programs.

For this reason, once a substantive change is approved it should also be affected to the

program regulations of all programs the change impacts. See Program Change

process.

Variable and Experimental Content Courses (AA to ZZ series)

Most departments offer a variety of topic courses for which the content and credit hours are

announced each semester. These courses may be repeated for credit by a student with a

change in content.

Variable and experimental content courses at the U of R are identified with a series AA-ZZ

behind the course number (I.e. SW 480AC). These courses are required to have a base course

(I.e. SW 480) approved as a new course (see the New Course section of this document). Base

courses are never scheduled, only the series courses. When a base course is made inactive or

historical, all courses in that series will be inactivated or made historical.

Variable and experimental courses require the approval of the Academic Unit’s Council

Committee. Setting up the experimental course within a series, once the course has been

approved by the Academic Unit’s Council Committee, requires the completion of a Course

Inventory Form – New Course tab, identifying the title and description of the course and the

remaining items should be entered to match the base course (I.e. grade mode, attributes, credit

hours, and schedule types). If prerequisites and/or corequisites are attached to the base course,

then they will automatically be attached to all courses in the series. If there are no prerequisites

and/or corequisites on the base course then they can be assigned to the series courses as

needed.

Variable and experimental content courses can be scheduled in the InfoSilem Data Collection

Utility (DCU).

Course Schedule Types

The delivery of instruction often requires educational material to be organized and presented to

students in a variety of ways. In order to facilitate the planning for and scheduling of classes to

accommodate these multiple types of instruction, it is necessary to divide courses into

organizational parts which reflect the unique combinations of instructors, meeting places, and

time patterns used to conduct the instruction. Courses can have one or many schedule types.

Available schedule types and their descriptions follow.

Schedule Type Banner Code Description

Lecture A An academic discourse given by an instructor before a group

Lab B That part of a course set aside for experimentation, observation, or practice in a field of study

Activity C A course or educational procedure designed to stimulate learning via firsthand experience.

Thesis E A course designed to cover the thesis research and writing.






Field/Field Trip F A course that gives students experience and knowledge in a non-traditional learning environment.

Ensemble H

A course that assembles a group of students who perform together. Approval to register in the course normally requires a student to audition.

Independent Study I A course of organized instruction or research determined solely by a student and his/her instructor.

Project J

A course with individualized instruction designed for students to complete an independent project of the students design.

Technique K A studio based course that gives students the appropriate techniques that they can apply to teaching.

Maintenance of Candidacy M

A graduate level course shell that allows students to register and maintain their candidacy in a doctoral program.

Internship N An experiential course designed to provide on-the-job experience where students can earn academic credit.

Applied O A course that develops a particular skill.

Practicum P

A course designed for the preparation of teachers and clinicians that involve the practical application of previously studied theory under the supervision of a senior instructor.

Research R

A course through which students earn credit for a studious inquiry or examination aimed at the discovery and interpretation of facts, revision of accepted theories or laws in the light of new facts or practical application of such new or revised theories or laws, and/or the collecting of information about a particular subject.

Seminar S

A course pursued by a small group of students under the direction of an instructor for the purpose of presenting and exchanging ideas or research findings via lectures, reports, and discussions.

Transfer Credit T A course shell that is established to award transfer credit.

Studio U

Examination X An examination provided at the end of the course. Required when a course has a schedule type of lecture.




Exchange Program Z A course shell that is established to track students who are participating in an exchange program.

Training Session 2 A course used by the TLC to register staff members into a training session course.

Workshop 3 A credit bearing courses offered for special populations by special arrangement.

Grad Single Work Placement 4

Challenge Credit Examination 8

A course that is set up to register a student in a challenge for credit version of a course.

Inactivating a Course

A course is inactivated when it is being temporary closed for registration. The reasons for

inactivating a course can be one or a combination of the following:

The course content requires revision.

The content is specialized and there is a temporary unavailability of faculty to teach the

course.

Funds to offer the course are temporarily unavailable.

The course has not been offered in 5 or more years

Note 1: A core course should never be made inactive without a replacement course or

alternative course that students can take to fulfil their degree requirements.

Note 2: Inactivating a course does not prohibit an Academic Area from reactivating the

course (see course reactivation).

Note 3: Before inactivating a course, an Academic Area needs to ensure that other

degree programs are not impacted by the inactivation so that other Academic Units can

make the necessary changes to their programs.

Effective Date

The effective date to inactivate a course should be for the subsequent fall term where

registration has not yet opened.

Timing

Course inactivation should be submitted prior to the January CCUAS meeting.



Process

1. The Registrar’s Office will provide a list of courses each October that have not been

offered in five or more years.

2. If the inactivation of a course will result in changes to existing program regulations

Making a Course Historical

A course is made historical when it is being closed for registration permanently. The reasons

for making a course historical can be one or a combination of the following:

The course content is no longer relevant.

The course has been replaced with a more modern version of the course.

The content is specialized and there is permanent unavailability of faculty to teach the

course.

Funds to offer the course have been suspended or eliminated.

A series course that now has a permanent offering.

The course has been inactive for 5 years or longer.

Note 1: A core course should never be made historical without a replacement course or

alternative course that students can take to fulfil their degree requirements.

Effective Date

The effective date to make a course historical should be for the subsequent fall term where


Timing

Historicized courses should be submitted prior to the January CCUAS meeting

Process

1. If making a course historical will result in changes to existing program regulations

within and outside of the academic unit, the program regulations changes will also

need to be approved (see Program Change section of the document).

2. If the making a course historical has impact outside of the academic unit, consult

with the academic unit(s) the change will impact.

3. The admissions and studies committee of the academic unit reviews the course that

is being made historical and recommends approval.

4. The Council Committee of the academic unit reviews the course that is being made

historical and has final approval authority.

5. CCUAS receives the course that is being made historical for information. The

agenda submission must include a list of courses to be inactivated for the following

fall term.

Programs This section of the Guide will be useful for individuals interested in developing and launching a

new program or proposing a program modification (I.e., changes to the program title, adding or

changing majors, concentrations, minors, changes to admission requirements, changes to

program regulations, etc.).

New Program

Developing a new program is a substantial undertaking and should be planned well in advance

of the anticipated opening of the program for admission. In all cases, when a new program is

being considered, it should have the support of the Dean or Director of the Academic Area and

the Provost.

When developing a new program, it is advisable to establish a program advisory committee.

The advisory committee should include various members within a Faculty, Department, or

Academic Area and, whenever possible, one or two academic members outside of the Faculty,

Department, or Academic Area. There may also be times when inviting a representative from

outside of the University community is appropriate.

The advisory committee will need to consider:

The credential that graduates will receive.

The admission requirements for the program.

The program description.

The program of study including the mode(s) of delivery and all program completion

requirements.

A draft of the course descriptions for courses in the program that will be under

development and/or the names of existing courses that can be used to fulfill the program

completion requirements.

The graduation requirements for the program.

A needs analysis.

Applicant demand.

Indication of any accreditation, certification or licensing requirements.

Alignment with the University’s and the Faculty, Department, or Academic Areas

strategic priorities.

Cost analysis including any additional resources that may be required to implement the

program.

For these reasons, a New Program Template – Undergraduate Programs (see Appendix C) has

been developed and approved by the Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and

Studies (CCUAS), with input from the Council Committee on Academic Mission (CCAM), and

the Council Committee on Budget (CCB).



Effective Date

The effective date of a new program should be for a future admission term where admission

has not yet opened. Student admission to a program is normally affected to a fall term,

even though the application to the program occurs before then.

Timing

A new program requires the approval of the Academic Area, the Faculty, CCUAS, CCAM,

CCB, Executive of Council, and Senate. The timing and planning of the new program needs

to take into consideration the length of time it takes for program development and the

approval processes. The planning for a new program should start at least 2 years before

the first admissions to the program will take place. An important consideration in the timing

would be to plan for how recruitment to your program would be impacted by your program

opening date.

Faculty Council

CCUAS Meeting Date

CCAM & CCB

Executive of Council Meeting Date

Senate Meeting Date

Effective Date

No later than June.

October. Need approval prior to E of C November agenda deadline.

November February Term 30 of the upcoming year.

Note: A new program proposal can be submitted at any time throughout the year, but

proposals that are received after the CCUAS November agenda deadline will be

recommended for opening in Term 30 of the next available academic year (for example, a

proposal received in December of 2016 would have a recommended opening of 201830).

Process

1. A Program Advisory Committee (PAC) is established.

2. The PAC works through the New Program Template – Undergraduate Program (see

Appendix C).

3. The admissions and studies committee of the academic area reviews the new

program and recommends approval.

4. The Council Committee of the academic unit reviews the new program and

recommends approval.

5. CCUAS reviews the new program. If budget or academic issues exist, CCUAS

forwards to CCAM or CCB, otherwise CCUAS recommends approval to E of C.



6. CCAM reviews the new program and recommends approval.

7. CCB reviews the new program and recommends approval.

8. Academic Area forwards required documents including letters of approval from

CCAM and CCB to E of C.

9. Executive of Council reviews the new program and recommends approval to Senate.

10. Senate reviews the new program and has final approval authority.

11. Once approved, the Registrar’s Office affects changes to Banner, in Advisor by

Conclusive; and publishes it in the Undergraduate Academic Calendar.

New or Substantially Modified Major to an Existing Program

When a new major is proposed, or when substantial modifications are being proposed to a

current major, the “New Program” process is followed. A substantive change to a major is one

that results in a major that is radically different than the original one.

Substantially Modified Program

A substantive change to a program is one that results in a program that is radically different

from the original one.

Restructuring the core or the major of the program

Substantive redistribution of core, major, or elective requirements

Name change to a program and degree ie: Bachelor of Physical Activity Studies to

Bachelor of Kinesiology

Changing Admission and Graduation Requirements

Changes to admission and graduation requirements include but are not limited to:

Changing the minimum high school average required for admission

Changing the high school courses required for admission

Changing the minimum transfer GPA and/or credit hours required for admission

Changing the number of credit hours required for completion

Changing specific regulations that apply to the program (minimum GPA for example)

Non-Substantive Program Changes

Non-substantive program changes may include one or more of the following:

Replacing courses that are planned to be made inactive or historical with new or existing

courses

Adding a course(s) to an existing list of requirements

Moving an existing course from one area of course completion requirements to another

Making an existing minor available within a program

Adding a co-op route to an existing program

Creating a new minor

Effective Date

The effective date of a program change should be for a future admission term where

admission has not yet opened. Student admission to a program is normally affected to a fall

term, even though the application to the program occurs before then.



Timing

Substantive program changes and changes to admission and graduation requirements

require the approval of the Academic Area, CCUAS, Executive of Council and Senate, so

the timing and planning needs to consider the length of time of the approval processes.

These kinds of changes should start at least 18 months before the first admission will take

place.

Whenever possible, all changes to a program should be bundled and brought forward at the

same time. This would include the approval of new courses, courses that are going to be

made inactive or historical, and any other changes. If course additions and/or changes

impact other programs, these too should be brought forward.

Faculties and Departments The creation of and/or change to an existing faculty, department, or academic area must be

approved by the University of Regina Senate. These kinds of changes require careful

consideration and planning. For example, a change to the name of a faculty can impact

thousands of courses, programs, and student records and require a significant financial

investment in rebranding.

A proposal to change the name of, or to merge one or more, faculties, departments, or

academic areas must contain the following:

Proposed name of faculty, department, or academic unit.

Planned implementation date.

Rationale.

Evidence that meetings have been held with the Registrar’s Office, the Office of

Resource Planning, and Financial Services to gather data on the institutional

implications of the change or merger.

Organizational and program changes that will result from the change or merger including

a strategy and plan on how those changes will be implemented and managed and how

any associated risks or issues will be mitigated.

Resource implications, including rebranding costs, as a result of the change or merger.

The results of the vote of the faculty members within the faculty, department, or

academic unit impacted.

Process

1. Develop proposal.

2. Consult with faculty members impacted.

3. Meet with Registrar’s Office, Office of Resource Planning, and Financial Services to

gather institutional implications.

4. The Council Committee of the academic unit reviews the proposal and recommends

approval to E of C.

5. Executive of Council reviews the proposal and recommends approval to Senate.

6. Senate reviews the proposal and has final approval authority.
